[PATCH] riscv: Ensure only ASIDLEN is used for sfence.vma

From: Alistair Francis <alistair.francis at wdc.com>

When we set the value of context.id using __new_context() we set both
the asid and the current_version with this return statement in
__new_context():

    return asid | ver;

This means that when local_flush_tlb_all_asid() is called with the asid
specified from context.id we can write the incorrect value.

We get away with this as hardware ignores the extra bits, as the RISC-V
specification states:

"bits SXLEN-1:ASIDMAX of the value held in rs2 are reserved for future
standard use. Until their use is defined by a standard extension, they
should be zeroed by software and ignored by current implementations."

but it is still a bug and worth addressing as we are incorrectly setting
extra bits.

This patch uses asid_mask when calling sfence.vma to ensure the asid is
always the correct len (ASIDLEN). This is similar to what we do in
arch/riscv/mm/context.c.
